There are many of us who are full-time homemakers or work professionally from home. During the 8-hour eating window, focus on consuming protein (meat, poultry, and fish) and vegetables (think green growing things). Beware; eating too much can also be detrimental in regards to fat loss. Most of us believe that we can just train harder and believe that eating healthy will get them shredded.
Move over, Greek yogurt: Icelandic yogurt is the new darling of the dairy case. A part of traditional Icelandic cuisine since the Vikings were the bad boys in town, the word for the yogurt in the Icelandic language is skyr, thought to be derived from the word for cut. That's probably because skyr is thick enough to cut, far thicker than most American brands of yogurt. And, because it's so concentrated - it takes up to four times more milk to make 1 cup of skyr than 1 cup of regular yogurt - Icelandic yogurt is dense with health-enhancing nutrients.
Whole grains-whole wheat, brown rice, barley, and the like, especially in their less-processed forms-are digested more slowly than refined grains. So they have a gentler effect on blood sugar and insulin, which may help keep hunger at bay. The same is true for most vegetables and fruits. These slow carb" foods have bountiful benefits for disease prevention, and there's also evidence that they can help prevent weight gain.
Exercise promotes general health and increases mental well-being. Your endurance increases, as does your flexibility and muscle strength. Exercise can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in some people. Your risk of heart disease, colon cancer, and diabetes decreases with regular physical activity.
